In today’s video, https://youtu.be/J_X62uoYP7Y, I begin my visit to Colchester, VT’s Village Cemetery. This is the largest secular cemetery in Colchester both in size and burials. It is just under 2 acres. I found the grave of W. W. Thompson who lost 9 children to a diphtheria epidemic. So many small gravestones…

Let us stroll this classic New England rural graveyard…
